Music films are great, but they can never compete with a live performance. Live music is what it is. It's the whole point. You experience it in the moment.

It's such a rich experience when you enter into a subject from a documentary point of view. It's hard for fiction to compete with that.

I'm guided by my enthusiasm.

I didn't go to film school so my learning was done out in public and showed up on the screen.

I love doing fiction. I love doing performance films and I love doing documentaries that don't have music. I love to shoot and I love to shoot things I'm enthusiastic about.

Every film deserves its own unique look.

Extraordinary people are the Green Berets and the Navy Seals and the Olympic athletes - these are the ones who can face these extraordinary physical challenges and be triumphant.
